purple and white - OK this RC thinks it would be a good idea - just as long as the purple is not too dark for ease of visibility

Serge<<. Technically the EO churches have no set liturgical colors, even though many follow the Latin pattern of purple for the season.>>

Of course, you're right, Patriarch Serge. All that the rubrics say concerning liturgical colors is that bright colors are to be used for Pascha and dark colors for Great Lent. But green is a favorite liturgical color for Pentecost by all Slavic Orthodox (and blue for feasts of the Mother of God and red for the Nativity Fast in parishes that can afford a muliplicity of vestments).

Must say I like the thought of Purple - but make sure I can see it on my laptop screen please - but it will need to be a fairly deep purple with white print , or a lilac with black print for ease of viewing I think

Try it and you can be sure that we will let you know exactly what we think

Hey March 10 - come on you are a week behindhand there surely

How about instead of making the whole site purple, why don't we change the color of that big 'ol cross* on the title bar. That would be a fairly visible reminder and no need to muck about with the rest of the site.

*being a southern man, I am required to use the adjective big 'ol at least once a month. Thanks for bearing with me.

Hey David, luckily for you when I made the original 14 logos for this site one of them had a purple cross. So if they choose to use it, its already made!

Some of you are beginning to sound like some of the old fuddie-duddies who are giving our new priest a hard time over some minute changes (even changes for the better, or changes to be in concert with the rubrics) in going in queues to venerate the icons, receive Holy Communion, etc. They had our young matushka in tears Sunday.

Remember the old joke?

Question: How many Orthodox does it take to change a light bulb?

Orthodox Answer: Why change?
